Last message from previous page:In 1977 I gave the Queen a posy of red, white and blue paper flowers while she was doing one of her walkabouts in Portsmouth, as part of her Silver Jubilee celebrations.She still writes on occasion.

i think (if im right) this means you were born in your bag of waters, once upon a time midwifes used to sell placentas to sailors (maybe only placentas where the baby was actually born inside i think?) who used to have some thing the y did with them. some superstitious thing whihc 'kept them safe at sea' i believe.

yh, sailors believed it to be very lucky. im off to google it now to remember the exact story

'''''Babies born 'in the caul' (when their amniotic sack, or amnion, has not burst and remain intact on the babies head or face like a circular crown) are in many instances worldwide thought to be lucky, special or protected, and according to Wikipedia, children born in the caul are rare, occurring less than one in every thousand births. It may be both the rarity of occurrence and the watery symbolism of the amniotic fluid that led to both the children born in the caul, and those subsequent bearers/wearers of the caul as a charm, to be deemed, specifically in English folklore, as subsequently unable to drown''''

I can wiggle my ears without touching them.

I'm allergic to general anaesthetic, it almost killed me when I had my tonsils out aged 4.

I was in a car accident when I was 5 and bit my tongue off....then it was sewn back on! You can still see the scar underneath and I am a pretty fussy eater!
